    Whatever is better for the team. Selling or buying. All depends on the returns.

    Haha well it won't be me even if this team wins out, I don't care about being right that much to dig up an old thread Just think it's pretty lame to give up on them in January when there is a ton of hockey left to play.

    Absolutely, and I think waiting is best not just because we'll know more a month from now but rental prices go way higher the closer you get to the deadline.

    So if they keep chugging along at .500 and say we are still two points out come the deadline... are we supposed to suddenly become buyers?

    And why would you sell? because you were panicky in early January?

    If we're around .500 and only 2pts out, that means the teams ahead of us are just as flawed and we could be better than if we make the right deals.

    A lot can happen in two months. If things stay exactly the same and we're still .500 I'd lean seller and give Girardi to the highest bidder.

    No that means you have a 2% chance of winning it all and just sold off pieces for the future. I wholeheartedly disagree with you.

    Just because you're buying doesn't mean you're mortgaging the future. No one is saying go trade Miller for a Ryan Smyth. Wake up.

    We have been over a million times in other threads why we are supposed to sell. Huge amounts of cap space this off season and an opportunity to draft twice in the first round and hopefully twice in the 2nd round to support a farm system that has shrunk in NHL talent in recent years. This season can best be chalked up to an opportunity for AV to see who he likes and wants for the future. Let him and management draft who they feel can fit the new system. Sign 5 or 6 new players for next year. Last shot at a run with Hank. The past two seasons with Torts were this teams shot.. they didn't get it done. Hit the reset button for a season and try again.

    Ok so who's out there. Steve Ott? Your still gonna have to give up someone like a JT Miller for him. No dynamic series changer is going to be found at the deadline without sending off one of few remaining top prospects.

    I don't know who's available, neither do you and neither does Sather until he gets off his wrinkly ass and calls someone. Not all trades that happen are of players well documented to be available.

    That's a nice defense. "I don't know who is, so its on Sather to make some miracle player who can lead us through PIT/BOS to fall out the sky, oh and not give up that much for him" The league has shown in past years that the deadline is absolutely a sellers market. If you wanna buy you have to pay through the nose. Anyone remember giving up two 2nd rounders and a 3rd for Ryane "i cant even tie my shoes anymore" Clowe? That really helped.

    oh so trades can't be made before the trade deadline. Someone tell Bettman the NYI/BUF GM's broke the rules so they can be disciplined.

    ah, the lovely view of hindsight, lol. Point is, when you mention "and who is it we would trade for?", this is an example of a trade that no one really knew about / expected at the time but happened because the initial inquiry was made. Just like this trade any other may pop up that you don't know about. This is also an example of a trade that was made where the buying team (Isles) were able to get a player young enough that will help in the future.

    Whiny bandwagoners always crack me up. Don't worry, we'll hold a seat for you.

    "Sell now, it's mid-January and we're 2pts out"...lol, what a farce.

    Vanek is a UFA. What convoluted disillusioned world do you live in? Young enough that will help in the future, you seriously have no idea what you are talking about... and yeah I'm just a bandwagon fan. Let me get this straight you want this team to go buying to chase a playoff run and I'm the impatient one? This is getting too ridiculous. Have fun in fantasy world.

    i agree. It's a great example of how morons don't quit on a team at the deadline b/c they only have a "2% chance to win".

    That Kings team had and will always of had a much better shot at the cup than these Rangers. A blind man could see that.
